Hi Bro, just to share a familiar experience, one of our members had a similar problem, whereby the indicator only displayed D while driving. He stopped and off the engine and restarted, it was OK. After a few weeks of similar procedure, it finally stayed at D and could not revert to any other gear mode. He sent to SC for a scan, and it showed that it was he TCU's fault. He replaced the TCU at a price of bout Rm3k inclusive of labour, and till this day his problem was permanently solved. I dunno if this could be your predicament.
just sharing an experience.

The ultimate measure of man is not what he stands for in moments of comfort or convenience, but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy.

How frequent is the problem happening and if it is intermittent or consistently permanent? Is the quoted price for new or Recond one? Get him to confirm the actual part number so we can try to source and compare price.

Before attempting major repair/replacement, try to check if the TCU connectors are oxidized if the aircon water outlet hose are leaking and condensation water. Try to clean with contact cleaner to see if it helps. Several of our bros experienced this before including mine occurred 2 or 3 times before but self recovered within seconds. Like Bro Teerex mentioned, one Bro replaced his TCU at USJ SC for RM3k that fixed the problem.

If you can, drive to KL to join our Group Lunch on 25 June to get yours checked at our panel SC to get a second opinion.

First it happen was due to TCU burn he open up 4 me to see the copper wire turn black . Replace the top copper wire not working Bcos the btm parts pistons not functioning also. So i was force to change new TCU at Rm4k. The car can move . I drive it 4 only 2 wks it slip again at Kulim highway. As mehtion off engin and on again it can move but only last a few mins . the gear drop to D again. Bro rex4585 i think u r right mechanic told me the clutch after get hot it cannot clip so it slip he told me there r two portions front and back not sure what he mean the front portion ok only the back portion hving problem. so he try to take one old part from wokshop to fix and try he told can move but only last one day . So he confirm its the back portion hving . The gearbox already taken down can cannot move . Bro bk4t9 give me USJ contact i call up he ask me to tow the car to his workishop. Mechanic told me its recon with new parts inside guarantee 4 6 mtns. I think its the clutch and joint to clutch parts can Bros find only this parts so i dont need to buy whole units. Its this clutch and others parts same like Menc . What should i do now i just want the car move so that i can drive to your SC and leave it there 4 u to do complete check out. If u need i can give the mechanic h/p so u guys can talk to me to understand more. Any way tq Bros . If u guys happen to b in PENANG dont hesitate 2 give me a call we can hv lunch or dinner.

Bro sorry to hear about your gearbox problem. You mean your auto box? Needs new clutch plates and maybe other parts. Is your mechanic familiar with auto box in particular rexton or Mercedes? Better get one who is or you may waste more time and money. Don't know about Penang area but if you want can come to Ipoh. There are good MB workshops here who can solve your auto problem. If need my help PM me.


Sure pls send me Ipoh workshop contact ( name/address/tel ) 4 future use bcos it is nearer to Penang. Tq.

If you did check price here earlier, would have saved RM1k. Can you check to confirm if the new TCU that cost RM4k is really functioning well now? Bro Orex replaced a new TCU but it got burned because of wiring problem that ended up claimed under warranty replacement. We had emergency meeting here at Cherating beach and Bro ByeBye2u will contact you when we return.

Pls check out http://www.neorigina...group/model/Y01 for the part number and part name, will help you to source for it. It is important to know the actual part having problem before making a rush decision, especially a costly one.

If the Mechanic did replaced "something" that got your Rexton working, you can check for this part number and he should know the part number already.

If you can, join Bro BK4t9 to our Group Lunch on 25 June at Ssangyong PJ Showroom. Can get your Rexton check at our panel SC.

We had a gathering at PG in Feb and also had seafood lunch together when we return from our Grik Trip in March. Not a problem for us to plan a gathering in PG soon. We have 7 bros around PG area - Bro ByeBye2u, Bro Blit, Bro Bk4t9, Bro Azhardollah, Bro EWtan, Bro Blackrex, Bro Car4tklee to organise frequent meetup to build up the bonding.

After our Group Lunch, we always has a Open Bonnet session where our Technical Advisor will answer questions you have on your Rexton and follow by test drive if necessary. Those issues that required to be fixed at SC or workshop, can be arranged after that.

Bros who interested in remapping will need to have their original map downloaded because we tuned base on each car's original map and updated during the next gathering.

Discussed over the phone with Bro 9885, several options for consideration

1. Let the Kulim SC Mechanic to quote the parts for replacement so we can compare price.

2. Get a recond gearbox from Balakong Gearbox specialist to replace. Contact and price estimate given.

3. Buy the gearbox plus other related parts as spare from the scrap Rexton. Price and photos given.

4. Bro Rex4585 suggested if PCB board burnt can be replaced for few hundreds by Merc Specialist in Ipoh.

5. Tow to USJ SC is another worthy consideration.

Keep us updated on your situation and decision, so we can see how we can help you further.
